    If it is, it will be on 5 Live Sports Extra: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/13629853

    I was able to listen to Worcestershire vs. Aus and England vs. Essex online last week, but they were on Local BBC Radio.

    BBC have been blocking TMS on 5LSX a lot (even for home series) lately so it might not be available online. I use a program called Tunnelbear on my Android phone to get access to UK content and TuneIn Radio to listen to 5LSX.

    Yep, I know where to look alright, was just wondering if they'll geo-lock it - only one way to find out I suppose.

    According to Agger's twitter feed there is no geo-locking this time round:

    Jonathan Agnew ‏@Aggerscricket 1h And remember you can catch TMS all over the planet! BBC, ABC, Tunein Radio, iPlayer app, http://bbc.co.uk/cricket etc! No escape…


    So hopefully you should be okay.

    It's a very dry pitch at the moment, has been for the last month. County games at Trent Bridge has seen an average score of 452 and only 16 wickets per match.

    Yeah its pretty dry alright and it will get plenty of bumps & cracks on the wicket in the next couple of days. We will most probably see plenty of reverse swing as well

    Time for Anderson and Broad or Finn to earn their keep. No one expected it to be overcast and lights on all day, and chances are it'll be clear tomorrow so they need to make inroads into the Aussies tonight.

    Disappointing day all round. First day nerves? Caught out by conditions?

    England ahead, just, but will need to get a couple of quick wickets in the morning to get into the bowlers.

    Wacky Races sort of opening day as judged by the Channel 5 highlights. Still if the pitch is lively its always entertaining - weird to see the lights on by close of play!

    Watching the ashes verdict On sky now. The Ashton Agar selection is a really weird one & has bob willis and tom moody baffled. In the space if 12 months he has gone from an unused player in the u19 world cup to the no1 spin bower in the opening test of the 2013 ashes.
    Nathan Lyon must be scratching his head wondering what has happened. In his last test match vs India he takes 7 wickets.
    Strange for sure unless they thought the left hand spinner might be a weapon vs the English right hand batsmen

    Isn't the pitch supposed to soften out for the bat tomorrow/Friday. If Australia can hang in for the guts of the morning session without a wicket..

    Really looking forward to today now, nice to have an Ashes test that's finely balanced and not just one team gripping on for a draw.
